Glacier exploration
Description
A panoramic view of 21 glacier-topped mountain peaks higher than 3000 meters awaits you here. Crossing Hohe Mut saddleback you walk towards the mighty glaciers and summits. On your way you get to know many interesting and quite amusing details on the area's scientific research center in Rotmoostal valley: the precious Rotmoos marshlands and Obergurgl's 300- year old Stone Pines have been observed over many decades. At the end of the hike you treat yourself to a wonderful rest stop.
